Answer 1

A nosebleed, medically known as epistaxis, is the relatively common occurrence of hemorrhage (bleeding) from the nose, usually noticed when it drains out through the nostrils. There are two types: anterior (the most common), and posterior (less common, and more severe).

All nosebleeds are due to tears in the mucosal lining and the many small blood vessels it contains. Fragility or injury may cause the tears, while inflammation, coagulation problems and other disorders may make the injury harder to repair.

The cause of nosebleeds can generally be divided into two categories, local and systematic factors.

Local factors:
Anatomic deformities
Chemical inhalant
Inflammatory reaction (eg. acute respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and environmental irritants)
Foreign bodies
Intranasal tumors (Nasopharyngeal carcinoma in adult and juvenile angiofibroma in adolescent males)
Nasal prong O2， continuous positive airway pressure therapy
Nasal spray
Surgery (such as septoplasty and endoscpoic sinus surgery)
Trauma

Systemic factors:
Drugs - aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel and others
Alcohol (due to vasodilation)
Allergies
Blood dyscrasias
Heart failure (due to an increase in venous pressure)
Hematological malignancy
Hypertension
Infectious diseases
Malnutrition (especially anemia)
Narcotics
Vascular disorders
Muscle tightness as caused by scoliosis (the tightened muscles cause blood vessels to be come constricted, resulting in nosebleeds from the same side as the tightened muscles).

Nosebleeds are due to tears in the mucous lining and the many small blood vessels it contains. Fragility or injury may cause the tears, while inflammation, coagulation problems and other disorders may make the injury harder to repair.

Answer 3

it can be the air quality. if the air is dry then u are prone to nosebleeds. it can also be allergies and the temp. if your nosebleeds last more than 15 minutes go see a doctor. remember don't tilt your head back you'll choke on blood always pinch the bridge of you nose with a damp cloth and lean your head forward.

Answer 4

I sometimes get a lot of nosebleeds too. Vitamin C helps the nosebleeds, and it can be found in lots of fresh fruit, esp. citrus fruits. I don't think it's serious, but make sure you drink lots of water! :) Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Try using a humidifier at night. I am guessing that your heating systems uses forced hot air. This is very dry air and will dry out your nostrils causing the nose bleeds.

Answer 6

I had to get mine cauterised with a red hot probe (1960s): reduce salt and salty food (sweet & sours, curries, hot 'n spicy); use Cenovis NoSalt or similar. See a doctor if it doesn't improve after a few months (or sooner, if it worsens). If you lose a lot of blood, go without delay!
